İnguinal Herni Tedavisi
Özet
İnguinal herni onarımı, dünya genelinde en sık uygulanan cerrahi işlemlerden biridir ve tedavisi yalnızca cerrahi yöntemlerle mümkündür. Bu hastalık karın içi organların periton duvarından protrüde olmasıyla oluşur, tanı muayeneyle konur ve en çok erkeklerde, çocukluk ile 50 yaş sonrası dönemlerde görülür. Patofizyolojisinde kollajen lif oranlarının azalması, sigara kullanımı ve artan karın içi basıncı gibi faktörler rol oynar. Cerrahi tedaviler açık ve laparoskopik yaklaşımlar (TAPP ve TEP) olmak üzere ikiye ayrılır. Günümüzde semptomatik fıtıklarda yama kullanılan gerilimsiz yöntemler altın standart kabul edilmektedir. Lichtenstein yöntemi yamanın gerginlik yaratmadan yerleştirilmesini sağlarken, Plug ve Yama yöntemi zayıf alanları destekleyerek nüksü azaltır. Protezsiz yapılan Bassini ameliyatı, üç tabakalı karın duvarının inguinal ligamente dikilmesini içerir ancak %8 civarında nüks riski taşır. Bu yöntemin geliştirilmiş hali olan Shouldice tekniği ise çoklu kontünü dikişlerle nüks oranını %1'in altına düşürür. Asemptomatik hastalarda "bekle ve gör" yaklaşımı uygulanabilirken, semptomatik olgularda operasyon şarttır. Ameliyat sonrası en sık karşılaşılan komplikasyonlar nüks, kronik ağrı, enfeksiyon ve iskemik orşittir, ancak güncel laparoskopik ve gerilimsiz teknikler başarı oranını artırıp iyileşme sürecini hızlandırmaktadır.
Inguinal hernia repair is one of the most frequently performed surgical procedures worldwide, and its definitive treatment is only possible through surgery. This condition occurs when intra-abdominal organs protrude through the peritoneal wall; diagnosis is made via clinical examination, and it is most common in men, particularly during childhood and after the age of 50. Pathophysiology involves factors such as decreased collagen fiber ratios, smoking, and increased intra-abdominal pressure. Surgical treatments are divided into open and laparoscopic approaches (TAPP and TEP). Nowadays, tension-free methods utilizing a mesh are accepted as the gold standard for symptomatic hernias. The Lichtenstein method ensures the placement of the mesh without creating tension, while the Plug and Patch method supports weak areas to reduce recurrence. The non-prosthetic Bassini operation involves suturing a three-layered abdominal wall to the inguinal ligament but carries a recurrence risk of around 8%. The Shouldice technique, an advanced version of this method, reduces the recurrence rate below 1% using multiple continuous sutures. While a "watchful waiting" approach can be applied to asymptomatic patients, surgery is mandatory for symptomatic cases. The most common postoperative complications include recurrence, chronic pain, infection, and ischemic orchitis; however, modern laparoscopic and tension-free techniques increase success rates and accelerate the recovery process.
